Talk of a Dortmund/Spurs type wall has featured a fair bit on here. That sounds similar.

I came here to post the BBC headline news: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51443421

Government to confirm fast rail line from London to Crewe. Seems just about relevant to this topic. A shame they couldn't build it all the way to Manchester in stage 1. Is this to be welcomed? Occasionally I here people saying that there are better ways to spend money on the railways, for example more rolling stock. I often travel to City on the Sheffield line and loads of times there's only been two carriages on, and no one can get on by the time the train reaches Romily, Bredbury etc.

By the time that railway is up and running we will be in a new stadium, probably build by dippers.
 
Here's my perfect scenario.

NSL1 is made Safe standing. (I think the club will take the easier and less controversial option of making SSL1 safe standing)

Rename the North Stand the Sergio Agüero stand at the end of next season as a thank you to Sergio.

Expand the Sergio Agüero stand and create a single or double tiered KOP stand holding 20,000 fans, similar to the new Spurs stadium and to Everton's proposed stadium. With a large singing section behind the goal. And invite Sergio back when it opens for the 1st match.

jrb, have you seen the MEN? News on the Great Ancoats Retail Park: https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...s/revealed-plans-turn-central-retail-17731837 and some old general news about decline in new construction starts: https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...s/manchesters-building-boom-hit-peak-17690512T

How's the Manchester crane count looking?

Is this a pause, or a downturn? City centre construction has been very cyclical in the past.

Ancoats Retail Park. There's a thread about it on SSC Manchester. All the info is there along with views and opinions from the forum members.

Don't believe the doom and gloom merchants.

Manchester has still got 70 cranes on it's skyline. Via the MCR-SCC Crane thread which is updated on a regular basis. The record number of cranes was 82. That figure was reached last July. There has been a slight drop in cranes. However, much of that drop is down to timing and the completion of developments. Not sure Manchester will beat that 82 crane figure again in my lifetime. There are plenty of new proposals that are waiting to start and will start this year. That includes more towers. There's a long way to go yet before development and the number of cranes in Manchester starts to decline significantly.

If they move the singing section to the North Stand where will the away fans be?
